I'd never seen Simonscans.com before and was overall impressed with the one man show (I am assuming this is a fairly self-ran site). In his "mission statement" Simon states that he strives for: quality, original photography of great looking girls, frequent updates, and respect for both surfers and models. All this is clearly visible in his site which is composed of around 200 girls in over 80,000 pictures along with a handful of videos.
The pictures themselves are nice and big and are great quality. They can be viewed in 3 different sizes (1280x1024, 1024x768, 800x600), and though they are nice and professional, they also maintain an amateur feel to them. The pics do not over glamorize gorgeous Barbie dolls, but rather highlight the natural beauty in natural women of all types of attractiveness. I like that, but although the scenes change, and the girls change, there's a lot of repetitiveness in the poses. On the other hand, that makes for a ton of close up pics;), as he manages to get quite a few in for each photo set, though it might take quite a bit of picture skipping in order to get to them- good thing browsing within the sets is a breeze! The movies section would make up for this as movies are always more entertaining, but there are only around 30 movies to watch on the site; so the movies section is a bit small, but growing. However, the clips are nice and long, so that makes up for the lack in numbers, and quality is great, playing at over 500k. Even if you double the viewing size, the quality is still very nice! Since the clips are nice and long, it might take some time to download for those of you with smaller connections, but the close up of a girl playing with her pussy almost full screen is definitely worth it. My suggestion- go ahead and download the clips straight to your computer:), then enjoy! All of the content on Simon Scans is exclusive and they update 5 times per week with 8-9 new photo sets and 1-2 movies.
Getting around the site is easy, mainly click and go. Each page opens up in a new window and you can browse by recent updates, or by model. The models are listed in alphabetical order and you can view all their photo sets by clicking on their picture (most models have at least three sets each). If you chose to browse by most recent, sets are thumbnailed along with the model's name, image #, series #, and date. Each photo set can be displayed 16, 32, 64, or 96 thumbs at a time and you can skip ahead to any page in the set that you like. All photo sets are easily downloadable by page or by whole set. There are a couple of nice features here, along with simple browsing and viewing.
Overall this is a great site with enough content to keep even the most picky busy for a while and then some. As for now, Simon Scans only provides single-girl content and could use a little change of pace in that aspect, but that might just be me. The videos section, although seemingly small, is entertaining and I look forward in seeing it grow as I think it adds a lot to the site. With the overall design being kept so simple, Simon Scans is extremely user friendly, and this is also apparent in the cost of the site ($25/mo), with loyalty discounts being given after the first six months.

Review: 03-16-04 |
I obviously completely loved this site the first time around, so doing a follow-up on it can only mean 1 thing--its gotten better! And indeed it has! Not only has the picture count improved from 80,000 pictures to well over 130,000 and the amount of videos has jumped from 28 to 62. As would be expected, you can also expect to get a few new models added to the already comprehensive model list.
It's been about 7 months now and it appears as though Simon's been busy at work. The site has gone under a few changes in design, but nothing too drastic, everything is still conveniently archived and simple to browse. A magnifying tool has been added that enables members to decide which size the prefer to view each individual image in (800x600, 1024x768, or 1280x1024), this is a nice feature but can sometimes be a little difficult to get the hang of for those of you who aren't as computer savvy. No need to worry though, it's just something that will take some getting used to and is a great feature to have.
The pricing structure has changed slightly, placing even more emphasis on keeping members around. The price is still $24.95 a month, now with loyalty discounts being given after the first 3 months (instead of 6), when the price drops down to $19.95/month. If you're not one for long-term commitments, a month here will cost you about $5 bucks more this time around at $29.95. Obviously the 3 month deal is your better option. Truly a beautiful site that's well worth the 3 month+ commitment!
Quantity + .5, entertaining + .5.
Score increased from 91.3 to 92.4.
